In this book Marva Dawn invites the reader to experience the wholeness and joy that come from observing God's order for life a rhythm of working six days and setting apart one day for rest, worship, festivity and relationships. Combining sound biblical theology and research into Jewish traditions with many practical suggestions, Keeping the Sabbath Wholly offers a healthy balance between head and heart: the book shows how theological insights can undergird daily life and practice, and it gives the reader both motivation and methods for enjoying not merely observing a special holy day. Dawn's work unpretentiously eloquent, refreshing personal in tone, and rich with inspiring example promoters the discipline of Sabbath keeping not as a legalistic duty but as the way to freedom, delight and joy. Christians and Jews, pastors and laypeople, individuals and small groups all will benefit greatly from reading and discussing this book and putting its ideas into practice.
